Coyote Peak - June (4, Cont.)
in an open glade at edge of timber.
Their ears & tail were constantly
moving & keep deer flies away. One
appeared to be buck with mushroom
antlers.
There seems, from evidence + reports,
to be much hunting all year round.
Same Warden ranger informed us
that natives were killing many deer
all the time and violations were so
frequent that no attempt was made
to apprehend the offenders.
Several times at night (near
midnite) an auto has driven along
our side road with spot lights
playing on woods. Local shepherd
informed us that this was "jack-
lighting" deer at nite - a common
practice.
